I think l'il Ross is all done.  His only real issue was the balanced
budget.  And seeing as the two main parties are ruminating somewhat
on that issue, they've stolen his thunder.  Also, I think Ross' ego
took a tremendous hit when the voters didn't clasp him to their bosom
in '92.  I think he'll sit this one out, unless the GOP panicks and
tries to draft him.  But he's take tons of shit if he went along,
'cause he attacked the GOP pretty heavily in '92...
